VII ARC // A theatrical metal band inspired by Visual Kei
VII ARC is a metal band from Germany, but with a unique influence: pretty much all members enjoy ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and have been adding the inspiration they’ve gotten from the Japanese artists to their work. Perhaps you caught their performance in Amstelveen in 2017, where they supported MORRIGAN

Kyuho Lee // Inspired by Japan, executed in South Korean style as Madmans Esprit
You might have heard about 叫號 (Kyuho) and his work as Madmans Esprit, but in case you haven’t… Madmans Esprit is 叫號 (Kyuho)’s solo project which was inspired by the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) scene from Japan, as you could probably guess a little from the vibe that is visible from the band’s appearance alone.
Jupiter // Legends never die with “Zeus”
We’ve been covering Jupiter’s releases for quite some time now, so the band doesn’t need a big introduction at this point, do they?

Jupiter // Translating the universe and myths into music
Jupiter has been pretty active in the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) genre for a few years now, creating quite a name for themselves. Unsurprisingly, given that the original lineup of the band existed out of both guitarists, the bassist and the drummer of Versailles. Throughout the years there have been some

Ever since G.L.A.M.S formed under the title of “Mikaru’s solo project” he has spoken about his works that don’t directly have to do with music. The love for art and jewelry has always been there, but it has always been in the shadow of his music when he visited The Netherlands.

龍 (RYU) // Creating a worldwide online stage through the internet
The last time I got to speak to 龍 (RYU) was a little over two years ago already, in 2016 when he was at the OshareCon convention in Nieuwegein (The Netherlands). But 龍 (RYU) certainly hasn’t gone silent since that show. Instead he has started a new project, but instead of only making it available to Japan,
